Legal Process Management (LPM)
The holistic approach to optimizing of business processes between legal departments and law offices
Hiring of outside attorneys is a challenge in the corporate process. Firstly, it is important to respond to rising cost pressure in the legal departments, and secondly to ensure the expected quality and qualification for the particular mandate. The metrics for making the decision are:
- Goal-oriented, legally appropriate council,
- On-schedule and close communication
- High cost-efficiency and verification
Legal Process Management (LPM) comprehensively supports and controls this process. Procedures can be developed here which act as genuine drivers or catalysts for improved cost controls while achieving the same or better quality. A permanent reduction in costs is guaranteed!
With the decision in favor of outsourcing, a permanent process of “selection – quality control – monitoring” has to be established. With LPM the corporate lawyers can permanently support this process by providing suitable information and assess it under financial aspects. According to the practical requirements:
determine – control – implement – evaluate
individual modules were integrated into one solution for this interrelated process, provided with a flexible correction control procedure for higher-order user control and supplemented with modern rating and evaluation functions.
